financial help after death of parent

Sncjw

When shopping also go for the value own range supermarket stuff. No embarrass,ent in doing so. Many people do that now due to finances and you safe a lot of money against the branded stuff and taste the same. That way you will probably be able to eat more often.

I think food banks are only a short term thing.

Someone mentioned debts do you have any of those. Maybe you could look on martin lewis debt advice.

you claimed that he was abusive to you and you also said that if you knew you would get no money then you would have stayed married to him, it sounds to me that he was just an ATM to you.

Also you stated what clothes you own, how does that affect the kids that the £6.50 you did get was meant to be spent on them and not you?

Why on earth would you type such a post to someone asking for advice ?

You'd have stayed married to someone mentally and physically abusive to yourself and your children for the sake of a measly few quid after he carked it? Really?

Right, now I've got over my incredulousness, you've been given some great advice here. I'd also pop over to the Old-Style board and also maybe Debt-Free Wannabe (even if not debt involved!). Posters on both boards are great at making pennies stretch.

Good luck.

Thank you to the people who answered with kindness. Im not sure where others thought I wanted more than £6.50 a week? I eat every other day, i own 2 pairs of shoes 2 pairs of trousers a cardigan and 5 tops! So yes even 6.50 would have been a great help and obviously until you've lived my life for a year or more you haven't the first idea yet you judge?!... i was the day of this post feeling absolutely desperate. School holidays coming to an end and uniform to buy and hoping that just maybe there was asomething id missed some way of getting some extra money to bring up my children. . I didn't realise i had to go into so much personal detail and i obviously didn't realise that he was going to die or else id have eaten once a week and paid out for life ibsurance on him .... hahaha laughable advice... anyway im feeling stronger now abd passing back some advice.. have you e er heard of if you haven't got anything nice to say say nothing? . I understand i once luved in an ivory tower i had a lovely home career and wonderful holidays then i married a psychopath.. don't imagine you kmow even half the story after then and i won't bore you with it either.
Once again thank you for the kind comments i have looked further into it and no im not missing any benefits so ill continue to struggle but at least we are all free from him!!!

That must be worth more than cash, surely? Things will get better, your children are growing up and will not have their lives blighted by such a father. You say that you are not missing any benefits, but are obviously struggling financially - can I suggest that you go over to the debt-free wannabe forum, put in your statement of affairs, and you will receive some valuable assistance there.

It sounds as though you are far better off, overall, without him, and without the £6.50. As suggested above, can you get a paper round, or maybe take on a cleaning job to make up the difference?

I wish I could work 26 hours a week. Sadly I need to work full time to support my children.

Upping your hours will easily give you the money lost from this abusive man.

You don't need to struggle... You need to maximise your income through other means. One way would be more hours.
